Moonwalk

[BlarghNRawr]

I need a code to eliminate moonwalking
no urgency

[edh]

Did you look at Sgt Sparkys demo?

[BlarghNRawr]

cant download demos..
can u explain it to me?

[jimmynewguy]

depends (left and right? left up down right? left up down right + diagonals?)
which 1 do you need explained

[BlarghNRawr]

just left and right

[jimmynewguy]

all right
under draw actor put

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();

if (key[KEY_LEFT]==1&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0)x-=5;
else if(key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&[KEY_RIGHT]==1)x+=5

then under keydown right

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==1) ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "walkr", FORWARD);
else if(key[KEY_LEFT]==1&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==1) ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "standr", FORWARD);\


and

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_LEFT]==1&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0) ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "walkl", FORWARD);
else if(key[KEY_LEFT]==1&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==1) ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "standl", FORWARD);


for left down
than

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_LEFT]==1&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0) ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "walkl", FORWARD);
else if(key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0) ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "standr", FORWARD);


for right up and finnally

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==1) ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "walkr", FORWARD);
else if(key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0) ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "standl", FORWARD);


for left up

i probably should explain it so.........here goes(gulp)
if bassically checks if key right is up or down and if key left is down or up and changes the animation and directional volocity accordingly just remeber to make sure all the "key ups" and "key downs" are NOT! have repeat disable
(i would tell you again but repeats off ) so there

You could check the method I used in my Samureye demo. That works pretty well.
In short, you subtract whether key_left is pressed from whether key_right is pressed. This means that if both are pressed, or none are pressed, the result is 0. If just right is pressed, it will be 1. If just left, then -1. If it is 0, you set some variable to say you are stopped. Otherwise, you set it to say you are moving, and set another variable to the value to say which direction you are moving in. Later on, you check these variables and move and change animations accordingly.

thanx guys

[BlarghNRawr]

@jimmynewguy:
so can i delete my lwft and right walking codes and just use this instead

also, i just tried this and it sayes there are errors in the first code

[jimmynewguy]

oops misplace semi colin(;)

Code: Select all

char*key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_LEFT]==1&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0)x-=5;
else if(key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==1)x+=5;

there
and yes delete other walking scripts

[BlarghNRawr]

i fixed the ; before, and it said there was a problem with line 1
cant covert char to * or something strange

[jimmynewguy]

ya i fixed that with

Code: Select all

char*key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_LEFT]==1&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==0)x-=5;
else if(key[KEY_LEFT]==0&&key[KEY_RIGHT]==1)x+=5;

this^
(key)

[BlarghNRawr]

ok i try it

[BlarghNRawr]

actually the control is W.A.S.D. A is left, D is right, so would it be:

Code: Select all

char*key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_A]==1&&key[KEY_D]==0)x-=5;
else if(key[KEY_A]==0&&key[KEY_D]==1)x+=5;

[BlarghNRawr]

OK everything worked perfectly, however, there is another moonwalking problem if you hold down to crouch, and then start to move and release crouch, you will simply slide...
ive had this problem for a long time, im just too lazy to ask how to fix it...

here is the codes for left down (a), right down (d), draw actor, key up left (a), key up right (d), key down down (s) and key up down (s)


they are all screenshots tho =D
